Notes concerning this program
- Days prior to the beginning of school will have the letter C as well as holidays.
- All days (weekdays and weekends) will have dashes for students who have dropped and also for students who enrolled after school started or exited the next month.
- The highlighted yellow number 1 on the report means the student is recorded as being absent with a valid doctor's excuse (attendance code where the description has a "D" in front). This will show in the "ND" column of the students attendance table in Post Attendance. The most common valid doctor's excuse code is '02 D Dr Note Verified' but can be different in some districts with the addition on a weboption.

Q & A
Q - In Posting Attendance, we have been using code 66 (N Medical Quarantine) for COVID positive students but this is showing up as a zero (unexcused) on the LA 4 report. We thought that code 66 (N Medical Quarantine) was an excused absence and therefore, should be showing up as a yellow 1.
A - On the setup box, the Skip Codes field defaults to D, P. Choose the 66 code and the 0 will change to 1 in the report.
